GDT(3/3): Oakland Athletics @ Toronto Blue Jays - Happ vs. Pomeranz - 1:07 PM ET

[NorthOf49]

SPEED KILLS

 

IT KiLLS

[JFD]

Reyes should be allowed to wear #42

[Orgfiller]

this, never has he thrown 3 straight 95 mph heater. Gun is a little hot

 

Guys occasionally reach back for some, Happ decided Cespedes with a guy on second was the right time to do it.

[Dylan]

Damn it Jose, need this run!!

[Bunchedundies]

Sigh

[Atothe]

Jose no good there

[BarkatToronto]

yeah this pomjam is pretty good

[Solaxys]

ugh Baut needs to get it rollin soon.

[awsomest]

pomeranz has the cecil curve f***

[Daniel Labude]

Bautista with an awful atbat...just had to put it in play

[Dylan]

Big AB for lawrie here!

[Bunchedundies]

At least his pitch count is up.

[G-Snarls]

I like Speed

[Bunchedundies]

Lawrie always seems behind the fastball, right down the middle.

[Dylan]

damn... nice play

[GoldBull]

Damn...

[Bunchedundies]

Wasted, less then 2 out runner on third, have to score there.

[saskjayfan]

good rip...too bad

[Solaxys]

Good hit; got unlucky.

[Atothe]

oh man another hit taken away from Lawrie

[awsomest]

Bort the king of getting s*** on by babip

[Convo]

Watch Pomeranz velocity and see if it's around the norm. To tell if the gun is off

 

He's throwing 91-92-93 with the fastball and his average vel this year is 92... so gun seems fine

[Daniel Labude]

Arr you serious...no luck for Lawrie

[BarkatToronto]

Lawrie always seems behind the fastball, right down the middle.

 

Nothing new, since his first game, he fouls of that first strike pitch right down the middle

 

if instead of homeruning that he goes opposite field he'd have a higher average

[Convo]

Crazy f***ing thing about Happ: his average velocity has increased in every single year he's pitched.

 

2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014

88.8 89.7 89.8 90 90.5 91.1 92.1

 

Though his top velocity hasn't changed much:

 

92.6 94.1 94.7 94.2 94.5 94.4 95.1

[Dylan]

3 ks!

[jays4life19]

JA Happ is a big strong guy.

[Atothe]

Happ beasting

[BarkatToronto]

Nice inside fastball only 92 though

[Orgfiller]

He just keeps overpowering guys with his fastball...who is this guy?
